Unicode Version 17.0
𜲔
U+1CC94 "𜲔" Left-Facing Fish with Open Mouth is a symbol from the ancient Linear A script, a writing system used by the Minoan civilization of Crete that remains largely undeciphered. This pictographic sign depicts a fish oriented to the left with its mouth open, and it belongs to the repertoire of Linear A logograms that likely represented actual commodities in administrative and economic records. The character is part of the newly encoded Linear A block in Unicode, added to support scholarly research into Bronze Age Aegean languages. Its exact phonetic or semantic value is unknown, though it may have denoted fish or a related food item in Minoan accounting.
